#1 I saw an episode of Mail Call where Ermey went to Knob Creek. The man had way too much fun for something he was getting paid to do.

#4 The poor reporter clearly has no idea why his buddy Pete laughed without smiling. And he seems to think that American doctors, lawyers and marketing executives are the equivalent of British yobs and soccer hooligans.

"Are you military?" I ask.

"Ex-military," he says.

"Can you be more specific?"

"No."

Woo-hoo! I'm in love. ;-p

#6 It's important to distinguish between gun haters who hate guns because of bullets and the damage they do; and ones like this guy, who hate guns because they are both macho and make loud and scary noises.

As ridiculous as it sounds, the latter group might actually be the majority of the anti-gun crowd.

They almost feel pain when they hear loud and unexpected noises; or when in the presence of violent or extreme emotions. Any strong, harsh, sharp or sudden sensation provokes a similar reaction in them. They are people of gentle pastels, rounded edges and "niceness".

They are like a small girl who had hysterics because they saw a small boy "hurting" an insect.

Importantly, they always seek to change society to try and stop such things. They don't want winning and losing, or even scoring, it sports, as that might result in feeling bad or feeling good. Food and drink must be bland, as does music, art, and everything else.

They are people who crave for life to be on Prozac. So it's a natural that they hate guns, and gun owners, for that matter. They seem to be everything that the hyper-sensitive people hate.
